Q: Hi Team,

I have a slightly overweight position in Franco Nevada, a half position in each of Agnico Eagle and Klondex, less than a half position in Silver Wheaton and bullion holdings including CEF.A.

I am trying to clean up a bit and am considering selling SLW and adding the proceeds to CEF.A, and selling KDX and adding the proceeds to AEM. I would be left with FNV, AEM and bullion as a result.

This would allow me to increase my weighting in bullion and reduce my weighting in bullion equities and move to full positions (or so) in the remaining holdings.

Do you have any feedback on this plan?

Thank you, Michael.

Q: Are there any public companies out there with a good foothold in the graphene development market? I read that it's going to be the super material of the future, but that it's early days still. A recent story about new battery technology based on graphene that can be charged in seconds and last for weeks has tweaked my interest in this material.

Q: An article in the Globe Nov 15 pointed out the positives on this junior minor, including its first pour on Nov. 7 and projected 70,000 ounces in 2017. Stock price has fallen back to 73 cents from its peak at 99 cents a few weeks ago. There would seem to be support around 70-75 cents, after its run up from 25 - 30 cents early this year. Do you have any update to your earlier commentary? This would be for a speculative 1% position.

Q: Back in July, I purchased the Global X Gold Explorers ETF (formerly GLDX, now GOEX). I was reluctant to sell when it started to dip, but since the price of gold keeps falling I'm wondering what to do. My time horizon is long and my allocation is small, so I can live with being in the red for many years. What I’m wondering is if it's safe to hang on to it, in terms of there being any risk to the underlying companies or even the ETF provider itself. Should I have any concerns about Global X? Also, if I can ask a related question, if an ETF under-performs for long periods, is there a risk of it being discontinued? Thanks for your help.

Q: Greetings and best wishes to all. I have a small position in Niocorp (NB. I like the companies project, but I do not know enough about the industry to know if they can successfully develop the property by themselves. I would appreciate your thoughts on how this might proceed. Are they a buyout candidate, if not, can they successfully become a profitable operation? Thank you
